Ammonia tuning: Developing catalysts for cleaner fuels

Envirotec Magazine

Researchers at the University of Sheffield are exploring new exhaust aftertreatment systems for heavy-duty engines capable of running on clean, zero-carbon fuels such as ammonia. This four-year project is funded by an EPSRC grant and supported by the industrial partner Eminox. However, NOx gases are a byproduct of ammonia combustion.

Good vibrations (for continuous pollutant measurement anyway)

Envirotec Magazine

Its high-energy UV radiation in particular is strongly absorbed by all materials and triggers photochemical reactions of compounds present in the air. A well-known example is the formation of ground-level ozone when UV light hits nitrogen oxides. Sunlight has a major influence on chemical processes.

Measuring NOx in combustion

Envirotec Magazine

NOx gases are mostly produced by the combustion of hydrocarbons in vehicles and engines, as well as industrial processes such as power generation and cement manufacture. NO2 is generated by industrial processes including cement manufacture. Typically, at Signal Group, the flows of ozone and sample are set in a ratio of 10:1.

ExxonMobil Urges EU to Remove ‘Policy Hurdles’ Slowing Oil Industry’s Hydrogen Plans

DeSmogBlog

and other fossil fuel companies are urging the European Union to relax targets to boost climate-friendly “green” hydrogen, hoping to win greater support for projects to manufacture the fuel using natural gas. The target builds on a pre-existing goal of producing or importing 20 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030.

Managing NOx gas emissions from combustion

Envirotec Magazine

Pollution can only be managed effectively if it is monitored effectively. So, as political pressure increases on measures to limit the emissions of the oxides of nitrogen, James Clements, managing director of UK analyser manufacturer Signal Group , explains the current issues and the latest advances in monitoring technology.

New Report Highlights Pesticides’ Overlooked Climate Connection

DeSmogBlog

Not only do pesticides directly contribute to the climate crisis, but a changing climate is likely to intensify pressure from agricultural pests and decrease plant resiliency, resulting in greater pesticide usage and therefore further greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report.
